Periodic and Aperiodic NiFe Nanomagnet/Ferrimagnet Hybrid Structures for 2D Magnon Steering and Interferometry with High Extinction Ratio
Dirk Grundler, Sho Watanabe, Andrea Mucchietto, Shixuan Shan, Elif Nur Dayi, Vinayak Shantaram Bhat
Magnons, quanta of spin waves, are known to enable information processing with low power consumption at the nanoscale. So far, however, experimentally realized half-adders, wave-logic and binary output operations were based on few µm-long spin waves and re ...
2023Non-verbal Communication between Humans and Robots: Imitation, Mutual Understanding and Inferring Object Properties
Humans can express their actions and intentions, resorting to verbal and/or non-verbal communication. In verbal communication, humans use language to express, in structured linguistic terms, the desired action they wish to perform. Non-verbal communication ...
EPFL2023The Three-Phase Contact Potential Difference Modulates the Water Surface Charge
Aleksandra Radenovic, Andrei Kiselev, Vasily Artemov, Roman Doronin
The surface charge of an open water surface is crucialfor solvationphenomena and interfacial processes in aqueous systems. However, themagnitude of the charge is controversial, and the physical mechanismof charging remains incompletely understood. Here we ...

AMER CHEMICAL SOC2023Evolution of the rate-and-state frictional parameters of carbonate bearing faults at the brittle-ductile transition
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mathias Alexandre David Lebihain, Carolina Giorgetti, Francesco Figura
The majority of the seismic events in the Mediterranean region are hosted in carbonate-bearing rocks at depths representative of the semi-brittle regime. Within this regime, a complex interplay between brittle (localized) and ductile (distributed) deformat ...
2021Extension of Winkler’s solution to non-isothermal conditions for capturing the behaviour of plane geostructures subjected to thermal and mechanical actions
Lyesse Laloui, Qazim Llabjani, Alessandro Francesco Rotta Loria, Jacopo Zannin
Before this study, no analytical models had been made available for describing the behaviour of plane geostructures subjected to thermal and mechanical actions. This knowledge gap notably represented a limitation for investigations about the behaviour of s ...
2020Optimized photo-stimulation of halorhodopsin for long-term neuronal inhibition
Background Optogenetic silencing techniques have expanded the causal understanding of the functions of diverse neuronal cell types in both the healthy and diseased brain. A widely used inhibitory optogenetic actuator is eNpHR3.0, an improved version of the ...
BMC2019How collective asperity detachments nucleate slip at frictional interfaces
Matthieu Wyart, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus, Wencheng Ji, Marko Popovic
Sliding at a quasi-statically loaded frictional interface can occur via macroscopic slip events, which nucleate locally before propagating as rupture fronts very similar to fracture. We introduce a microscopic model of a frictional interface that includes ...
NATL ACAD SCIENCES2019Simulating Local Buckling-Induced Softening in Steel Members Using an Equivalent Nonlocal Material Model in Displacement-Based Fiber Elements
Fiber-based elements are commonly used to simulate steel beam-columns because of their ability to capture P-M interactions and spread of plasticity. However, when mechanisms such as local buckling result in effective softening at the fiber scale, conventio ...
2018Washboard effect of unpaved roads
In a granulometric material, there can be three different types of instabilities: by vibrations, by shearing or by gravity action. Washboard effect appears when a car is rolling on an unpaved road (made of sand, gravel or mud). It creates waves that are un ...
